Once upon a time
I thought I was slime
Those days has past
Guess it wasn’t meant to last
A journey begun on shakey ground
Was easier second time around
Many heart breaks along the way
What more is there to say
Once impossible
Now anything is possible
Imagine a life without hardship
Inner circle shall contain different friendship

Forever Time
In the forever times
Stuck by history as it repeats itself
A cycle which never ends
As the years drags on by
More we learn, the less we know
One by one, we lose the things we hold dear
Eventually if time is allowed to play out
The outcome is normally the same
Opposite of the person we wanted to be
In this life
There’s only one chance
To fall or rise above it all

Verse
I – Life doesn’t always go according to plan…. Often left vulnerable and exposed.
II – Nights are spent, wishing to be anyone but me. Any other life but my own.
III- Although I’ve tried…. Loving myself is the hardest of all. Hating myself makes it easier to bare.
Chorus
It ain’t perfect
More like a defect
Yet it’s mine, my very own

Right here, right now
This place, this time
Defines the truth within
Yesterday; shall remain in the past
Future; shall always be out of reached
Past untouched by time
Tomorrow lays only possibilities
Which may or may not come true
Light casts shadows in the dark
Dark allows light to shine brightest
Opportunities are presented
Even in the darkest of times

Nightmares, plagued by fears
Darken thoughts lingers all around
Greatest of fears revealed
Returning to a place called home
Discovering there’s nothing left
A life once familiar; unrecognizable
Failure to meet expectations
Mine above all else
After years of preparations
Only to be caught unprepared
Unfamiliarity, winning in the end
At least within these walls
Knowing my position in society
Out there; awaits another world
Amongst many watchful eyes
Eagerly waiting the moment I fall

Life had taken
Many unexpected turns
Positive and negative outcomes
Along the way
Stumbled, lost myself
Fallen down many times
Followed anothers path but my own
Somewhere along the way
Refusal of staying down
Revealed my path once more
By searching, knowing the person within
Along the way
Difficult at times it may appear
An end awaits every journey
Regardless of how it seems
Moments doesn’t last forever

Against the darken skies
A lonely figure fills the night
Magical spells casts by moonlight
Deep within dreams and mind
A place to dare imaginations
Beyond reality; hope lives once more
Since the dawn of time
A time keeper for seasons
Shown upon different faces in the sky
A reminder, some peace of mind
Everything shall change; then begins again

Within these walls
Time moves erratically
Differs greatly, from general perception
Harsh lessons learnt
Taught cruelly, without empathy
Without space to run nor hide
Left broken at times, yet stronger
Tested extremely
More so than most others
Trials no mere mortals experienced
Rebuilding the soul and heart
Only to destroy it utterly; completely
Desperation, through longing
Holding onto anything possible
Clinging, hoping beyond reason
Within these walls; I was forged
Molded from the worse of us

Once In Forever
Happiness feels; as if in a dream
Everything else a nightmare
Unable to wake, leaving that world
Happiness, designed not to last
In those precious moments
Powerful feelings of emotions
Coursing throughout body and mind
A sense of peaceful harmony
Rare encounters
Special by design
Irreplaceable in nature
Lives changes forever
By touches unforgettable
For a moment in time
Everything feels so right
Unfortunate experiences
Happened to someone else
Another life, another time

The fallen
Fell only to rise
Higher than ever before
A time will come
When hardship is bearable
Acceptance of both good and bad
Light and darkness are as one
A time will come
Adversity seeks for mercy
Bending, trembling in the eyes
Of those once thought unworthy
Weak, not worth a second glance
A time will come
Answers are known
Without another question waiting
Crystal clear in its deliverance
Not a trace of doubt remains
A time will come
Maybe tomorrow or the next
A year, probably a life time
Comes as a surprise, unexpectedly
Not a question of if; but when
